Well, as a US Thanksgiving weekend special, fellow MR member publisher ReAnimus Press are holding a sale in their direct-buy webstore, as well as giving away 3 free books (2 science fiction, 1 mystery).
The sale is good through Dec 1st, according to the newsletter, and gives you 30% off all the ebooks (DRM-free available worldwide in an ePub/Mobi bundle) in their webstore with the coupon THX14 (NB: the newsletter warns to apply the coupon to the code box before adding your selected books to the cart; also, many more titles can be seen than display on the basic store page, by clicking the genre categories in the sidebar). ReAnimus specializes in re-publishing backlist works from Golden Age-ish and classic 70s-era science fiction authors (and some newer continuations of assorted stuff and a few more modern titles) as well as selected works from other genres such as mystery, romance, and non-fiction, and they happen to have a good chunk of backlist from such old school luminaries as Norman Spinrad, Damon Knight, Ursula K. Le Guin, whom I shouldn't have to ISFDB/Wikipedia-link for you if you've paid any attention to the history of the field. They've also newer and more specialized authors like Megan Lindholm AKA Robin Hobb and classic Twilight Zone & Star Trek episode writer Jerry Sohl, among others. Their books are also mostly distributed via Smashwords to Kobo, where they are couponable, as well as directly on Amazon & B&N. However, if you live in an area where Kobo isn't passing out the good coupons anymore, the sale discount seems like a pretty good offer if you just want to buy stuff openly available to you without having to lie or jump through hoops. (ETA: also, there seem to be a lot of titles in the direct-buy webstore which aren't available at Kobo, including a whole bunch of Kate Wilhelm (ISFDB, SYKM, Wikipedia) backlist for a reasonably low price. Mostly her mystery stuff, though.) And this has been the selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day. Because not just one, but three nice freebies, plus a fairly good tie-in sale promotion, offered directly and straightforwardly to all, and with decent notice given in a readily-available obvious outlet, which I don't have to haunt Twitter and lose sleep due to timezone differences to even find out about, much less try and get in the 1-hour window allotted to their randomly-timed offerings, is A Good Thing™ which I heartily encourage all the other direct-buy publishers to start doing again, for which I will cheerfully give them a dedicated promotional boost should they do so. ![]() Enjoy! The three free books are as follows (enter the coupon into the Apply Coupon box, and the DRM-free ePub and Mobi download links will show up directly above the box once it's accepted):
